the provider is valid ... here is a line I use in VBA for a connection string, should work fine in vbscript
cn.Open "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source= " & SourcePath & ";User Id=admin;Password="

the User ID and Password name=Value pairs should not really be necessary but try adding them in.

You will also need permissions to create a file and to modify a file in that folder.

Thanks for the suggestions, but
